Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on this. I will bet you that the servers do not see a dime of this 18% service charge. [deleted a word so it wasn’t a grammatical horror to read]

    Not being from the US, I’m not familiar with the practices there. What kind of shells are suitable for kids? Is 12 necessary? Or is 20 sufficient?

      20 bucks, even for LA, is pretty steep for a kids meal.

      “Kids shells” almost certainly refers to a basic pasta dish, “shells and cheese”. It’s just macaroni and cheese but with shell pasta instead. And the bill denoting “kids” likely means it’s a smaller portion than usual. Quite possibly the cheapest item on the menu to produce. The price for this item is insane.

      I’m not sure what you’re asking with the 12 or 20.

      Edit: ok guys I got the joke, thanks for the subtle hints

      There’s a MILLION things to make fun of our country about and you chose this one that’s not even related? You’re the internet equivalent of a middle schooler who blurts out Family Guy quites in every conversation. Get new material!
